My husband received an email stating he had been approved for a loan for $10,000. He had them fax a copy of the loan agreement, to go over. It appeared to look legit, so he filled it out and faxed back. They told him he would need to pay a collateral pmt of $1000 due to his credit. This lady went by Sharon Stone. She transferred him to, the so called, credit mgr. Henry to get the name of the person and place to wire the money to. It was wired to Ontario, Canada. When he asked why Canada, Henry told him that's where the loan officer was located. Once this was paid, he told us the $10,000 would be deposited in our acct by the end of business day. Well, it wasn't in there, so he called this Sandra Stone back and she said they would need another $500 for insurance, that his credit score had dropped. If we wanted to cancel the loan, it would take over two weeks to get our $1000 back. So, I went and wired them another $500 and was told by Henry, once again, that the $10,000 would be deposited by end of business day. This didn't happen, so we knew we had been scammed. When we called them, the calls kept going to vm, they wouldn't answer. We are devastated by this, and upset that we didn't follow our gut feeling. They know they can prey on people that have credit issues, and make it all sound legit. I filed a report with BBB on them and will go farther to give them what they deserve.
